Hunger strike

A young farmer has decided to go on hunger strike as he believes the powers over S4C should be devolved to Wales.

Elfed Wyn Jones said:

I hope that my action will show just how serious the need for Wales to have control over broadcasting is. I accept my responsibility for taking the action – not in order to force the authorities or anyone else, but in order to encourage others to accept their responsibility.

From the lack of a Welsh-language presence on commercial radio and local television, to the serious cuts to S4C, it’s clear that London is not governing the media in the interests of the people of Wales.

According to a YouGov poll last year, 65% of people in Wales support giving broadcasting powers to the National Assembly.
